Hair Piece: A Film for Nappy Headed People (1984)
Directed by Ayoka Chenzira
Animation, Documentary · 10m
An animated satire on the question of self-image for African American women living in a society where beautiful hair is viewed as hair that blows in the wind and lets you be free. Lively tunes and witty narration accompany a quick-paced inventory of relaxers, gels, and curlers. This short film has become essential for discussions of racism, African American cinema, and empowerment.
